That call...

My phone rang yesterday afternoon,
"No Caller ID"
I was like, who the hell is this?

And there I heard the voice
The familiar voice I'd never heard since last year.. Exactly one year..

I was too afraid to guess
I kept asking
"who is this? who is this? I can't hear you clearly.."
Yet deepdown I was too scared if somehow the phonecall might ended

"it's me.." he said

He wished me happy birthday,

"You must think I forgot your birthday, don't you?
"I just try to minimize my expectation"

He sounded so apologetic.. Sometimes it was just silence.. Keep repeating "I don't expect you to just forget all about it in one night..but I do owe you explanation"

All this time waiting to hear from him, all I really wanted was to punch him on the face. But one single sentence and it all disappeared.

I said, "there's so many things I wanted to talk to you about.. but maybe when I see you.."

The 13-min phone call ended..

Last words were, "take care.."

He texted me saying,
"it was good to hear your voice. I hope you forgive me"

.......

Of course I forgive you. But to put so much trust (again), I won't be too sure..
